Following the introduction of the Raspberry Pi last February, it gained a lot of attention from users that the first batch of devices was sold out within two hours. However the succeeding batches were delayed since the wrong kind of networking jack was soldered into the mini PC.

Some time ago, the latest batch of Raspberry Pi units were lined up at the CE testing center. The Raspberry Pi Foundation recently announced that the Raspberry Pi already passed EMC testing and did not need any more adjustments. The new units of the mini-computer have been tested at the South Wales facility of Panasonic for a week and it appears that it may be all set to be released into the market.

RS Components reportedly would have to check the Raspberry Pi units although this latest evaluation will not be as stringent as the evaluation made earlier. The latest units of the mini-computer have also complied with the regulations of the FCC in the United States along with similar regulations in Canada and Australia.

This will indicate that the latest units of the mini-computer are all set to be released into the market.

The Raspberry Pi was initially planned for sale without the CE certification since it remains an unfinished project however the creators eventually decided to get the certification for the mini-computer. For the moment the specific release schedule has yet to be announced although it is expected to attract the same amount of attention when it was initially made available in the market.
